Since anything with #pumpkin is super cool right now I decided to continue on my fall coffeecake bender. I love when company visits and I have a reason to bake up a special treat. The recipe I found this time intrigued me because it was an accidental success. The blogger messed up on another recipe and ended up with this delicious cinnamon swirl pumpkin coffeecake. It was easy to make and insanely delicious. I would have to say it tasted like a pumpkin pie to me, with a glaze on it. I would probably make this again but for a fall potluck or as a dessert for thanksgiving dinner. It was a fun twist on typical pumpkin pie and did not register as coffeecake to me. Regardless, it was scrumptious and it fulfilled that constant pumpkin time of year craving.
